When people think of NASA and its accomplishments over the last five decades, they think of the Saturn V rockets taking astronauts into space and to the moon, or the Kepler space telescope missions sending back to the world beautiful and ominous pictures of the universe around us; but what most people don’t think of is the awesome computing power NASA has. When people think of NASA on Mars they don’t realize the awesome capabilities that NASA’s robotics carry. It is these very things that most people do not realize about NASA that made all these achievements possible and makes current and future projects possible.
